Why does a plastic comb rubbed with dry hair attract bits of paper?

उत्तर
A plastic comb rubbed against dry hair attracts tiny bits of paper because it becomes negatively charged after absorbing electrons from the hair, which becomes positively charged. The negatively charged comb creates a positive charge on the pieces of paper, resulting in an attracting force.
